If it's not your class reunion year you can still get together with your classmates. A popular craze is to host small off reunion year events. There are many ways to put an off year event together. You can have everyone meet at your home, a local pub or for larger gatherings you can rent a banquet room.
The goal is keeping in touch with all your former St. Francis classmates. To plan your event visit our Mariners Alumni Site and post your information under "Reunions". You can also search for events by visiting our alumni site.

There are classes still planning for upcoming reunions. If you are planning your class reunion or have a class reunion, be sure to visit our alumni site to update or post your event information. Thank you for your participation.

With Summer fast approaching, we all want to take time away from our busy sched-ules and have a little fun. With gas prices rising and the economy where it is, many families are wondering if they will even take their annual summer vacation this year. Here are some tips to help save money and still enjoy a vacation.

• Vacation closer to home - Instead of taking your vacation far away this year remember we have some great local vacation sports, we all seem to forget about. If you look around you can find some great places to visit close by. You won't need to fly and you'll save a huge amount on gas. If you do a little digging, you might be really surprised at the number of vacation options right in your own backyard. So don't forget to research your own backyard before planning your next trip.

• Drive instead of flying - With gas prices almost $4.00 a gallon you may think driv-ing is out of the question, but in reality driving is still cheaper than flying and driving to your destination can actually turn into part of the vacation. Plan your drive carefully and you can find some wonderful places to stop and maybe even stay for the night.
